115 Prince with different surname 2
Jun Min feels extremely shocked by the reward the emperor bestowed to them. He could accept it if it's only a rise in nobility title or whatsoever, but he cannot comprehend why the emperor would grant him titled prince. It must be known that princes are the emperor sons who can inherit his position later on. Doesn't it mean he's giving the chance for them to inherit the throne?
Soujin narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the title of a prince might sound noble and amazing, for him it's not any better than trash. He doesn't need the title of a prince to knock that person from his throne. But there is no way he could reject this title, so he will just use it to his benefit.
Aside from that, they also get quite a sum of money. After that, the emperor would grant them any request they have, as long as it's not over the top.
Jun Min keeps on thinking about it. Being given the title of prince has given him tremendous boost in ranks. If those girls who chased after him only come from the lower nobility, except the Lin family, now those other high-ranked born girls would surely set their eyes on him. He's no longer someone of low birth, but rather he's a prince of Ming Kingdom.
Somehow, he thinks that this is not a really bad thing although he didn't have plan on staying here for a long time. Jun Min raised his head.
"May I be as courageous to ask for something?"
"What is it?" the emperor is actually a bit nervous. After discussing with his trusted officials, they come to agree that tying the two of them into Ming Kingdom is the best choice they could take. Regardless of anything, with the title as prince, the Ming Kingdom name would be tagged behind them.
He hoped that the two of them wouldn't ask for an impossible thing. But, given their standing, they shouldn't do something like that. Still, he cannot help, but feeling a bit nervous over what they might ask him.
"I wished my sister to be titled too..." Jun Min said in low tone, rather embarrassed.
The other officials are all looking at Jun Min like they are seeing the biggest idiot in the world. From everything he could achieve, money, women, fame, he actually chooses to give it for his sister? How foolish can he be? But whatever they think in their head, they would not voice it out.
The emperor also stunned by Jun Min request. Given that the imperial family and Jun family had been on loggerheads with each other, it wouldn't be weird that Jun Min might posses some hate towards them. But his request is actually this simple... the emperor didn't need to give anything other than his degree to make this wish real.
Soujin unknowingly turned his head a bit to look at Jun Min. By asking for this request, Jun Hua would have the status of a princess and not the previous concubine born daughter anymore. Her future prospect will be bright. No ordinary man could hope to get close with Jun Hua anymore. And with her almost reaching 15, she will be eligible for marriage soon.
"From now on, your sister will be a princess."
The emperor granted it without much thought. For him, it doesn't matter if the princess is added by one because a girl could never contend for the throne. As for these two, he had discussed the matter and the officials all know that it's still an impossible thing. Becoming the emperor needs to come from his bloodline except if the previous emperor appointed the one who didn't have it, which is practically impossible with him as the emperor. f𝘳𝐞𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋no𝘃eƖ - 🅽🅽novel
Although he gives them the title of prince, he will not give them much power. The title is basically only served as a status for the two of them.
"This subject thanks the emperor for your grace."
Jun Min is happy because of this request. In any case, he doesn't have any intention of stepping on the palace as Jun Min anymore. Besides, going by his age, he's not even qualified to become an official yet.
Behind them, Lan Ping is staring with heated gaze. He couldn't believe that the emperor actually gives them the title of a prince. He feels envy towards them and wished for nothing more than beat them out for good. But, he cannot do anything yet. He needs to stay calm.
After the ceremony, they have celebration in the hall. The hall is packed with people and Jun Min slipped to the side. He wished to take a drink and accidentally touch a girl hand. He turned around to see a girl around 15 of age. The girl face is beautiful. Her rosy lips and glittering eyes would make anyone feels envy. If not for Jun Min was used with his own face that raised his standard of beauty to enormous level, he would be stunned by this lady appearance.
"My apologies, I didn't mean to, " Jun Min know that woman and man should keep their distance. But he still feels astonished that a lady actually comes to here.
The girl smiled sweetly."You don't have to worry. This one would not blame brother scholar."
Jun Min face shows helpless expression. He knows, his appearance must have caused another misunderstanding. Given that this lady didn't know that he's a general, she must be only a family of some important officials in the hall. But why doesn't she wear any veil? Is she hoping to meet with some handsome boys here?
"My lady, I'm not a scholar. My name is Jun Min. I'm a general."
The lady looks towards Jun Min in disbelief. Jun Min can only laugh dryly, the expression of those officials were also like this lady when they see him walking with Soujin on the front... That was the truth and he cannot change it.
"It's really unexpected... My name is Lan Gao Ya. It's nice to meet you, General Jun Min."
